Ashley Young is set for showdown talks with Jose Mourinho over his Manchester United future.

Ashley Young is out of contract at Manchester United at the end of the summer

Young’s current contract with the Red Devils expires next summer and the winger was expected to leave Old Trafford in the recently concluded summer transfer window.

A Red Devils source told The Sun: “Ashley and the boss are going to sit down with his reps and discuss his future.”

“He can leave on a free next summer but has the option. The club won’t stand in his way if he wants to go though.”
